==Etymology== '''Angkor Thom''' ({{langx|km|α’αααααα}}) is the transform name from another alternative name of '''Nokor Thom''' ({{langx|km|ααααα}}), which is believed to be the correct one, due to neglect of calling it in incorrect pronunciation. The word ''Nokor'' ({{langx|km|ααα}}, {{lang|km-Latn|NΓ΄kΓ΄}}) is literally derived from [[Sanskrit]] word of ''Nagara'' ([[DevanΔgarΔ«]]: ΰ€¨ΰ€ΰ€°), which means ''City'', combining with [[Khmer language|Khmer]] word ''Thom'' ({{langx|km|αα}}, {{lang|km-Latn|Thum}}), which means ''Big'' or ''Great'' so as to form ''Nokor Thom'' then being altered to current name of ''Angkor Thom''.<ref>word Nokor Thom and Nokor Wat in Khmer dictionary adopted from Khmer dictionary of Buddhist institute of Cambodia, p. 444 and 445, pub. 2007.</ref>
